BILL BRADLEY
Thursday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall Seattle, 1119 Eighth Avenue

Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. It is an honor and pleasure to help welcome former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley back to Seattle tonight. A former All-America basketball player who played pro ball for a decade, he served three terms in the Senate, and is also an accomplished author. He visits with his newest, The New American Story (Random House). "He doesn't have an exploratory committee, but the former Democratic senator and one-time presidential hopeful certainly has a platform in this thoughtful policy agenda. Bradley scathingly critiques Republican ideology and presents a liberal-centrist program for change that advances a multilateralist foreign policy, spending cuts (including Pentagon sacred cows) and tax hikes to reduce the deficit ... His insightful account of the politics of Republican ascendancy and Democratic eclipse in recent decades is coupled with a cogent call for Democrats to 'abandon the star system' of celebrity candidates ... and rebuilt the party from the grassroots ... Bradley puts forward a tough, plainspoken indictment of the Republicans and a vigorous and substantive Democratic reform program that deserves to be read and debated." - Publishers Weekly. $5 tickets at the door (no advance), handled by Town Hall Seattle. Preferred seating for Town Hall members. Town Hall is located at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). For more information, please see www.townhallseattle.org or call (206) 652-4255.
